I've been trying to translate the enclosed but am missing a few words. Any help would be appreciated please.
This man was transported to Tasmania in the 1800's for 'Sacrilege' and very thoughtfully the authorities also transported his wife and 5 children - to Australia!
So far my effort reads:
'Transportation for "Sacrilege" ................ ................
former character not known .................. ...................
Hulk (report?) "orderly" ....................
Confessed this offence, stealing Bible and prayer book from Shenstone church, in custody once before for coining - wife and 5 ch at Russell Street, Birmingham
My last question is where was Russell Street?
